France wary of enemy that never went away, 10 years after Bataclan attacks
Published: 11/13/2025

France remains vigilant against the ongoing jihadist threat 10 years after the Bataclan attacks, as a French convert to Islam, Maëva B, is arrested for allegedly planning a violent act in connection with the only surviving jihadist, Salah Abdeslam. This arrest serves as a stark reminder of the persistent danger posed by homegrown jihadists and the evolving nature of terrorist threats. Despite advancements in intelligence and control over online radicalization, experts warn of the growing influence of "ambient jihadism" fueled by social networks and global events like those in Gaza and Israel, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance and unity against extremism in France.
